INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) contractors will shift traffic on southbound I-465 on the city’s west side. The shift will allow contractors to replace temporary pavement with permanent concrete, making way for the added traffic lanes in the final configuration of the Accelerate 465 project at the I-74/US 136/Crawfordsville Road interchange.

Crews will begin implementing the shift Wednesday, September 19 at 9 p.m. Three lanes of southbound traffic will be directed toward the median onto new pavement between 34th and 21st Streets. A single exit lane will remain open on the right-hand side of I-465 for exiting to westbound I-74, US 136 and Crawfordsville Road. Signs will help direct motorists to the proper lanes. This phase is expected to last about six weeks.

Northbound I-465 will undergo a similar traffic shift in the near future.

When the pavement replacement is complete, I-465 will be put in its permanent configuration with four lanes for through traffic and additional auxiliary and ramp lanes for traffic entering and exiting the interstate.
